One of the most important applications of the electron microscope in recent years has been to the observation of defects in crystals. Replica techniques have been widely utilized for many years for the observation of surface defects, but more recently the most striking use of the electron microscope has been for the direct observation of internal defects in crystals, utilizing the transmission of electrons through thin samples.Defects in crystals may be classified basically as point defects, line defects, and planar defects, all of which play an important role in determining the physical or chemical properties of a material. Point defects are of two types, either vacancies where individual atoms are missing from lattice sites, or interstitials where an atom is situated in between normal lattice sites. The so-called point defects most commonly observed are actually aggregates of either vacancies or interstitials. Details of crystal defects of this type are considered in the special session on “Irradiation Effects in Materials” and will not be considered in detail in this session.
